Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a jelly roll pan with foil and spray generously.
Beat eggs and sugar for 5 minutes until frothy and thick.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine egg mixture with dry ingredients and fold in shredded carrots.
Pour batter into the pan, spread evenly, and bake for 9–11 minutes.
Immediately invert the hot cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll from the short end and let cool completely.
To make the filling, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Unroll cooled cake, spread filling evenly, then reroll tightly.
Wrap in plastic and chill for 30–60 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flair, toss in some toasted walnuts, a handful of raisins, or a sprinkle of coconut on top. Want to lighten things up? Swap the butter with Greek yogurt. This one’s endlessly customizable and always crowd-pleasing.
